Trade deals continued to emerge on President Donald Trump’s second day in the Middle East, marking his first trip to the region since taking office.
One key deal, signed with Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, is projected to generate at least \$1.2 trillion in economic exchange.
This agreement includes Qatar Airways purchasing \$96 billion worth of Boeing aircraft and potentially acquiring \$38 billion in U.S. defense goods. The deal is expected to support over 154,000 U.S. jobs annually and strengthen U.S.-Qatar relations, contributing to broader Middle East peace efforts amid ongoing conflicts.
